Hasnain Baqai (Urdu: شاہ سید حسنین بقائی), also known as Shah Saheb, is an Islamic scholar and reformer.[1] He is the patron and parts of various social, academic and other developmental activities of Sufi Sunni Muslims in India.[2] [3][4] He is the President of the All India Ulema and Mashaikh Board (AIUMB U.P), which is a Sufi movement in India.[5][6][7] One source describes him as having an inclusive and broadminded interpretation of Islam.[8]
Family Background
Baqai comes from a family of Sufis known as "Khandaan-e-Baqaiyah". He traces his lineage from Syed Baqaullah Shah, the founder of Silsila Baqaiyah. His ancestors came from Iran. He is the son of Maqdoom e Millat Shah Syed Waliullah Baqai.[9][10]
Positions and activities
He has held the following positions:
Opinions
Divorce
Baqai disagrees with the notion of a "triple talaq" divorce. He believes that saying "talaq" three consecutive times in public does not amount to divorce. He said in an interview: "in the Shariat, uttering 'talaq' thrice at one go does not amount to divorce, and some maulanas are kicking up controversy to keep their domination in the community." He supported the central government's rendition of an opinion against the legality of 'triple talaq' divorce for Muslim women, during the proceedings of the Supreme Court. [17] [18] [19]
Involvement in Waqf Movement of Lucknow
The "Waqf Movement", or Tehreek-e-Awqaf, which is going on in Lucknow under the leadership of Kalbe Jawad and Baqai has achieved a nominal success to date.[20][21]
Execution of Nimr al-Nimr & Faris Zarani
In an interview condemning the execution of Nimr al-Nimr in Saudi Arabia, Baqai said: "One Shia and [one] Sunni cleric were hanged just because they were raising voices for minorities’ rights and against the sheltering of terrorism by Saudi Arabia."[22][23]
Unity between Shia and Sunni
Baqai advocates the unity of Sunnis and Shia.[24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31][32]
